Under q Palm Tree.

FROM me StOChtOR DfCu.
In a desert on one of the South Pacific islands
are about dozen cOcOanut trees. and five miles
distant is the ocean. After hot ride through
the blazing sun n cool breeze from the ocean
set in, and began to feel the soft touch of
sumber, and all at once heard a faint musical

greet us as they used TO do the enchanted
princess in the olden days. | tried to locate the

there was nothing but the beautiful tropical sky
and the tremulous GtmosDhere. Still louder

apparently short distance away was a beauti-
ful lake, with its waves GaShng upon moss

attention to the lake. H. explained that the
seeming lake was a mirage; that the sound of
gurgiing waters came from an underground
stream, and that the music was caused by the
stirring of the tiinty sands by the wind

Florida's Sub-Tropical Exposition

The proposed Sub Tropical Exposition at
Jacksonville is certain to be a success. Its
promoters are pushing forward the prepara-
tions for it with great ealnestness and ener-
gy They appear to understand fully the
magnitude of the task they have undertaken
and to be fully equal to it.
From present indications the exposition
will be much larger than it was at first pro
posed. The interest that is manifested in it,
throughout Florida, and also outside of
the State, justifieS an enlargement of the
scope of the enterprise. The State itself
could furnish material for a magnificent ex-
position, but when it is understood that
Central America and the West Indies are to
be drawn upon, as well as parts of this
| country outside of Florida, it will be at once
seen what a magnificent display is contem-
plated.
| 1t is gratifying that the work of making
preparations has begun so soon. Although
it is not proposed to open the exposition
until next January it will require all the
time before that date TO 10 the work that is
necessary to be done. The great mistake
that is made in connection with nearly all
expositfons is that too many things are left
| to be done until the last moment. The re
suit is that on the opening day everything
is in disorder, and the public receive a bad
| impression. That was the case at the New
Orleans exposition, and the managers of the
Florida affair will be wise if they avoid that
mistake. When the opening day is fixed
let it be understood that by that time every
thing will be in order
In view Of the fact that Florida has as
tonished the world by her progress in popu-
lation and material wealth, it is fair to pre-
sumo that there will be still greater aston
ishment when it is seen what Florida can do

The Convict Camp Investigation.

| The investigation of the management of
! the convict camps and the treatment IF
! convicts which is being made by a commit
tee OF the Legislature is attracting a good
| deal of attention throughout the State. The
| testimony thus far introduced is somewhat
conflicting, but it creates the impression
that there is room for improvement i'll the
management OF the camps and in the treat
! ment Of conyicts. 1t is not expected, Of
course, that convicts shall have the COM
forts and conveniences which laborers,
who do the same kind of work
which they do, have because they arc not
only not entitled to them, but many of them
are 50 hardened and thoroughly bad that
they would take advantage of any kindness
extended to them, but it is expected that
their lives shall not be rendered more bur
dcnsome than the courts which imposed
sentences upon them intended. Confinement
and hard labor do not mean excessive labor
and brutal treatment. The State intends
that the convicts shall have wholesome food
and plenty Of it, and that they shall have
proper medical attention when they are
sick.
Some of the testimony which has been
Observation-Disclosures successfully or not
remains for the investigating committee to
Observation-Disclosures the existence of I'M
morality and brutality in the camps so gross
as to call for n sweeping reform. While,
perhaps the condition of affairs in the
camps in this State is no worse than it is in
the camps of other States where the lease
system prevails the existence of abuses
elsewhere does not excuse abuses in this
state and if the Legislature becomes salts
fled that any of the lesseeS are not comply
ing with their contracts in their treatment
of the convicts there ought to be no hesita-
ton in declaring their leases forfeited.
The state iSdeeply interested in having the
conycts treated justly, because, aside from
the States obligation to see that they are
dealt with humanely, if they are brutally
treated they will be more dangerous to
society when they arereleased from confine-
ment.
Before any of the lessees are condemned
they should be given a full hearing, and
then if it appears that they have been I'M
worthy of the trust reposed in them they
ought to be dealt with without any leniency
1t is believed that the leases are profitable,
and there are plenty of men who will gladly
take the convicts and treat them in way
that will be wholly satisfactory. There
is no danger that the convicts will be thrown
back upon the State for support. In some
of the States in which the lease system pre-
walls pretty heavy bonus is paid for the
right to the labor Of the convicts 1t can
not be said, therefore, that the lessees in
this State are afraid if they do not get all
the work they can out Of the convicts they
will lose money. If any lessee loses money
it is because he doesn't know how to manage
his cOnYictS.
